that's probably a taller order than looking for one that is in need of a restoration with the money people spend on restoring them, have you thought about looking for one to get restored??R.I.P. Kustoms LLCSpeed Shop & Fabrication"Race Inspired Products"

It costs a fortune, to restore an old gas pump. (per TV) Not including the cost of the un-restored pump. I've seen a few personal ads for restored pumps in the $1600 - $2,000 range.. Times are tuff, was hoping to beat those prices too.

Recently saw a eptsode of American Restorer where a guy who has 160 cars fully restored and functioning wanted 2 visible gas pumps. AR happened to have 1 that he restored and sold to the guy for $4100.00 and found another that they restored.
They were flawless and better then new. This old timer was with his dad when he bought a new 41 caddy. He now has 35, 41 caddies in his collection. I just can't get over the number of guys that collect so many cars.

Are you talking about visible pumps that you pump the gas by a hand lever? If they are complete, $500 per is a steal if they still have the glass. I just picked an unrestored, non operational one for a friends antique shop and he was glad to pay the $1000 asking price to the farmer who had it laying in the grass.

I would like to have one like those some day, or even a globe type. But i'll probably have to settle for a repop pump.Ryan
